Why? It's not IW's nor your place to dictate what kind of hardware people must have. If I buy the game and find out it doesn't run well I have two choices, run it at lowest possible settings or upgrade my hardware. That choice falls solely on my, IW has no business making it for me.

I also want to point out that in 13 years of pc gaming I've never come across a developer that put a hard lock like this place. It's possibly the worst move IW has ever made in the history of COD and it's clear now 3arc is the better pc developer. You can bet your ass PCDev would never in a million years do something like this.

No, it is their game and their right to set minimum system requirements to ensure smooth gameplay even on slowest supported PCs. Don't buy a game if your system doesn't meet minimal requirements. It wont' work. Plain and simple. Stop ******** already.

As I've mentioned in another of 100500 threads on this subject, I'm a software developer and I also had to make calls on what hardware I will support and what I will not. It's always the right call to show a message: "Your rig doesn't meet minimal specs" and exit graciously, than attempt to launch but work very poorly, and then listen kids complain about how your software is bad. I also strongly believe that a gaming PC with only 4GB cannot be considered a gaming PC in 2013 and can't be expected to run modern games.

but why? for what reason? is it a good reason? the only reason that they should use it, is if it actually used 6gb of RAM space wich it doesn't. it uses about 2 gb of RAM space. you know what? [ Removed by Moderator ]

nah not because some angry kid told me infact, i've got a friend with the same problem who downloaded and installed the RAM fix for multiplayer and singleplayer, then we did ctrl + alt + delete and looked at how much RAM ghosts actually used and it said it used about 1.8gb in the main menu and ingame, also not only one angry kid says it, there are at least 3000 angry kids, including myself. and there is proof all over the internet. just look it up, and even if my pc couldn't handle it, this is the first game on wich i see a limitation on RAM. and btw im not going to install the RAM fix on my pc because from what i heard, steam is banning players just for trying to play a game that they actually bought.

Why should there be a 6GB limitation? The game doesn't even use half of that when I run it and that seems to be the case for everybody else as well. In fact, there are barely any programs that always really need that much RAM minimum.

i don't understand how some people who can play the game don't want this for us 4 gb players. why do you wanna take this away from us? there is no reason what so ever for you to disagree on this, if anything it would benefit you guys aswell because there would be more players online at a time wich is better because there would be faster matchmaking ans stuff like that. since there is more players.

oh come on, not everybody has money to buy more i got 4 gigs (wich SHOULD be enough for a cod game) but aside from that even if i didn't meet the minimum system requirements on the box i should've been able to try? i have never seen a RAM limitation on any game that i've ever played. cod is sure to be the first ever.

Every single game out there has a Ram limitation. Every single one. This is just the first one you have not met. If you don't have the money to upgrade your PC at least once a decade, you need to play decade old games. Things move forward. I am not sure why the ram limitation is in place, but if it could be lowered without compromising the enjoyability of the game, IW would do it. They want as large of a market as possible. Whatever the reason though, it doesn't matter. Minimum ram required to play Ghosts is 6gb. If you ignored that and bought the game anyways.... Well that was a pretty dumb move, no offense.

WhiskeyDex, The problem is, they said you need 6gb ram to run the game, but in-theory the game only uses 1.8 gb of ram so people have the right to complain!! this arguement is not for me as stated above I am fine for running the game, but I do feel for the rest of the crewe who can't...

The thing is I have 6 gb of ram but I still get the fatal error that I don't meet min requirements .... Infinity Ward had some serious problems they don't give a dahm about pc community... so even if you meet the min requirements you might not even be allowed to play still....

I vote against this. Why should they waste money/resources making the game play for people that dont meet the posted minimums instead of fixing the game or adding content to those of us that are playing right now

Dear lord! ... let people with less then 6+ GB ram play >.< ... PC CoD Ghosts is almost dead! ... it's 14:30 EU Primetime here and barley 10,000 People are online and maybe 3000 of them are playing! ...

you guys are really something. Voting because you cant buy more than 6G RAM? Really. So next year when the requirements say 8G and its using up to 6G you still going to complain about it? You will need to upgrade your RAM if you wanne play in the future. games are evolving, so does your pc. Just buy those 2 extra RAM for like 20€??? You bought a game of 60 + season pass probably (another60€). So what you going to complain about another 20€.

I've seen the specs. i had only 4G RAM. You know what i did? Buy myself an extra 8G RAM and a new Graphics card. Why? because now i know that i will be playing COD for the next 3 years while all you whiners will cry AGAIN next year when the specs go higher again.

So stop complaining about the little things when there are bigger issues to attend first.
